  change 128 to 1280 (so copying time dominates), the two methods have
 approx the same performance.

 No, because Array.Copy must check arguments. BlockCopy only works 
 with primative structures, otherwise, it does not do any checks.

+BlockCopyInternal could be changed to do the ByteLength checks in
+unmanaged code and return an error code which is check in managed code
+to throw an exception. This would eliminate the two additional icalls.
+See also the other bug report for how to implement ByteLength with a
+fast jit opcode.
